Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU 8MP Outdoor ColorVu Mini Bullet Camera, Hybrid Light, Mic, 2.8mm
The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU is an 8 MP Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu mini bullet with a built-in microphone, built for Australian homes and retail sites that want 4K clarity and colour at night. It runs discreet infrared by default and switches to white light up to 40 m when AcuSense detects a person or vehicle, capturing full-colour evidence only when there is something to see.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU is
The Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2H-LIU is the microphone version of Hikvision's 8 MP Smart Hybrid Light mini bullet.
It records true 4K video through a 1/1.8" sensor and an F1.0 ColorVu lens, so daytime images are sharp enough to identify faces and plates, and 130 dB WDR keeps both bright sky and shaded ground readable in the same frame.
Night-time is where the hybrid lighting earns its place.
The camera holds quiet infrared until AcuSense detects a person or vehicle, then white light comes on for full-colour footage up to 40 m.
Because the colour light is tied to a real detection rather than running all night, you keep a low profile and avoid constant glare while still recording who was actually there.
AcuSense classifies human and vehicle targets so alerts skip animals, rain and swaying plants, and the built-in microphone adds an audio record to the video.
The housing is a compact IP67 metal bullet that copes with dust, sun and heavy rain, fitted here with a 2.8 mm wide lens for entrances, driveways and small yards.
Run it on a single PoE cable from a switch or NVR, or on 12 VDC, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the human and vehicle events stay searchable.
This model has a microphone but no speaker, so it records sound rather than offering two-way talk-back.
